Note: Millie and Sigma were together in the States last week and the week before – two years since last time! – and so, as our 'we were together' tradition, we're giving you a co-written chapter, and this one has been many years in the making…
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Disney
Kayla was showing Mon-El and Zari Tomaz around the Lake House on Karry Universe – the pair had arrived on Karry due to the Crisis event, at least that was their story, and since helping out against an attack on Pearl Harbor, they had been allowed to live at the Lake House with Kayla, who didn't mind their company – especially Mon's, who she couldn't help but feel attracted to.
The trio had just finished their tour of the property, with Kayla about to claim a deck chair by the lake when a familiar blue portal opened.
"And that's Cisco's cue to join us," Kayla sighed, but paused when two people she didn't expect came through – Amelia and Barry Allen, and they were grinning. "Or not," Kayla added, instantly knowing that this wasn't Karry's Barry at least, as this Barry was clean-shaven, while Karry's Barry usually supported a small beard these days.
"Hey Kayla," the new Barry stated, "Mon… Zari," he nodded to the others, who raised an eyebrow at the recognition.
"SuperEarth?" Kayla hazard a guess, knowing her core worlds well by now.
"Yes," Barry stated with a wink.
"And you're our Amelia, as in Karry Amelia, right?" Kayla added, knowing this couldn't be SuperEarth's own Amelia, better known as Mila, given that one supported more body ink than Karry Amelia did.
"Yep, I went to SuperEarth then came back here and to you," Amelia explained.
"Fair. Any reason why?" Kayla raised an eyebrow as Mon and Zari shared a look, taking a perch on another deck chair.
"Disney," the pair chorused, causing Kayla to frown.
"Disney?" Kayla asked as Mon stood at this, Kayla glancing back to the man in curiosity.
"You're our resident hitchhiker and we're going on a day tour of other worlds Disneys," Amelia took the lead at this. "We've been planning this for a while, and we found several worlds with different Disneys we want to visit."
"Shouldn't your Winn be with you too?" Kayla asked, knowing Amelia's husband was a big Disney nerd too.
"He couldn't get out of work," Amelia frowned at this. "But we'll have him next time."
"Oh," Kayla didn't know what to say about this. She wasn't a big Disney nerd – not like these two were – but wasn't against going on this tour of multiversal Disneys.
"Well, this I have to see," it was Mon who spoke as Kayla turned to look at the man. "I like Disney. I love Star Tours and Pirates of the Caribbean."
"I never took you to be a Disney person," Kayla frowned at the man.
"We never had anything like that back home, so I just got into it back on my original Earth," Mon shrugged.
"You're welcome to join us then," Barry pointed out.
"Sure. Count me in," Mon stated as the group turned to look at Zari.
"What?" Zari asked. She had some sunglasses on her and was already making herself comfortable on the deck chair. "I think I'll pass on this – I was hoping for a quiet rest of the day – but you go, enjoy yourselves," she waved a dismissive hand at the group now.
"Well, you heard the lady," Amelia smirked, a portal suddenly opening the others.
"How did you…?" Kayla asked Amelia, indicating the portal.
"An old friend," Amelia smirked as she and Barry jumped through the portal. Kayla groaned though, knowing who they meant.
"Well, are you coming?" Mon asked though, holding out a hand for Kayla, who took it quickly, liking his touch.
"With you, definitely," Kayla said, Mon raising an eyebrow at this which caused Kayla to blush, but they moved through the portal anyway.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
Kayla was a little surprised and wasn't sure why when she saw a Cisco waiting for them on the other side of the portal.
"Junior," Kayla guessed right away – and the smile Cisco gave was all she needed to prove she was right. "Wait, Mutant Earth is one of the Earths?"
"Has to be," Amelia said. "Mutant's Disney World opened a fifth park. Classic Kingdom."
"Only movies based on rides Walt himself had a hand in are allowed there along with rides he invented. For example, It's A Small World was moved here while the one in Magic Kingdom was transformed into a Tangled ride," Cisco explained. "And I called the other three worlds; all are more than happy to get us the tickets we need to visit their unique parks. I think Bounty is even setting up a tour for us."
Kayla should have known to expect Cisco's hand in planning this as Cisco handed all of them Magic Bands, which were worn like watches and allowed access to anything within the parks. "These are connected to accounts I made for you for all four worlds. Tickets connected along with some fast-passes," Cisco explained.
"How did you know to get me one?" Mon asked as he took the blue band and put it around his wrist.
"Lucky guess," Cisco said, but gave Kayla a smirk. "Come on, the gate is just that way."
Cisco pointed behind him, and Amelia and SuperEarth's Barry ran to the direction he'd pointed. Cisco turned and joined the pair, running for the entrance.
"We should follow…" Mon said holding out his hand to Kayla again, who took it happily and the two followed the group to the entrance.
Scanning their magic bands for entry and going through security was fast and the street they entered beyond the gateway looked like old school Main Street from the 1960s, while to their right was a restaurant that said 'Tony's' on it.
"I guess they switched that from the Magic Kingdom as well," Amelia remarked, pointing at the restaurant.
"Yeah," Cisco said as they walked through the old time Main Street. At the end of the street though, there wasn't a castle. Kayla wasn't sure why she had been expecting a castle, but she definitely didn't see this coming: at the end of the block was a large statue of Walt Disney, but Kayla wasn't sure if it could even be called a statue it was so big. There was a line she could see with people going underneath in it.
"That's the biggest Walt I have ever seen," Barry breathed; Walt 's arms were spread wide, as if he was waiting for a hug. It was a very welcoming pose. "There's a museum inside, right?"
"Yeah, some of Walt's original drawings and videos of his interviews," Cisco explained. "People say you could spend hours in there but that's time we don't have. To do four different parks on four different worlds we need to stick to a schedule. We have until noon here before we need to get to Prime."
"I thought Prime was very normal?" Kayla said, knowing a bit of Prime Earth and their Disney from Prime's very own Barry. "Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios…" she began to list the parks out.
"They have a new Disney," Amelia pointed out, raising Kayla's suspicions. "Cisco, do we have time for a selfie?" Cisco gave a nod and got in closer to Barry and Amelia. Mon went in closer, and put an arm around Kayla, who wondered for a second who had a phone to take the photo – but that stopped when Amelia held out her hand. Out of a device she was wearing on her wrist a spherical floating device came out. It had a lens in the front and there were a couple of flashes before it returned to Amelia's arm.
"What was that?" Kayla asked.
"Experimental L-Corp tech," Amelia explained. "I asked Lena if I could give it a test run. She agreed. STAR Co. also has similar tech ready to go out." Amelia still had taken out a phone to look at the pictures. "Not bad... Got some good angles of us and Walt and the editing out of background people feature is working nicely."
"How's video recordings going?" Barry asked and Amelia pushed another button. "Mine, yours, and Cisco's are up, running and saving."
"You're wearing cameras?" Kayla asked, not realizing how intense the two were over this. She thought it would just be a visit, not a documentary.
"Yeah, and I got one for you or Mon. Sorry I don't have a fifth," Amelia said.
"I'll take it," Mon said with a smile and Amelia attached it to his shirt.
"So where to first?" Barry asked Cisco.
"Well, I knew you would want rides not available on your Earth so Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, It's a Small World, and Snow White's Scary Adventure I counted out right away," Cisco said. "I got us fast-passes for Pinocchio's Monstro Journey, Lady and the Tramp's Dog Walk, and, of course, you need to see Mickey's Coaster featuring the Fab Five."
"The Fab Five?" Kayla had to ask.
"Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck, obviously," Barry pointed out at this.
"Oh, right," Kayla nodded.
"Well then, lead the way," Amelia instructed Cisco as they started.
"How did I get involved in this?" Kayla asked, now wondering why she agreed to a Disney hitchhike with people obsessed with Disney.
"You're the hitchhiker!" Barry, Amelia, and Cisco said together.
Mon gave a laugh as he took Kayla's hand. "Come on, it'll be fun," Mon said as the two walked behind the others.
The first ride they went to was Pinocchio's Monstro Journey. It started out a lot like Journey into the Little Mermaid ride at several Disney World's Magic Kingdoms, but the Blue Fairy welcomed them in, and then they start, going through the story of Pinocchio. It made Kayla wonder at first why the safety restraints were so good for this ride, but she found out when they hit Monstro as the ride turned into a small rollercoaster at this point, going through the whale. Once out of the whale, they finished off the story and then were allowed to exit the ride.
Amelia, Barry, and Cisco had been in the car ahead of Kayla and Mon. Amelia and Barry were laughing as the two joined the others. "That was awesome!" Amelia said.
"I'll admit it was fun," Kayla spoke, Mon having taken her hand again. She didn't mind it.
"Lady and the Tramp is not far from here," Cisco said with a smile. "We still have a bit of time until our fast-pass, but maybe they will take us a bit early..." Cisco led the way to the Lady and The Tramp ride.
Luckily, the person at the fast-pass entrance allowed them in since they were only about five minutes early.
This time they had to grab the 3D glasses before they got into the cars. The ride used 3D screens to make them go into a dog's perspective, running from the dog catchers. Characters from the movie like Lady and Tramp themselves showed up, telling them to follow at certain points. They followed, given they were in a cart. It ended at Tony's restaurant with Tony singing the infamous song.
"I enjoyed that one," Mon said as they dropped off their 3D glasses.
"I can tell you Prime Kara would love that one," Kayla said, which caused Amelia, Barry, and Cisco to laugh.
"It was similar to Remy's Ratatouille Adventure," Barry remarked.
"I haven't been on that yet," Amelia said.
"Oh, you should it's good," Barry enthused.
"We have a bit of time to wander before our next fast-pass," Cisco added, but they followed him regardless.
There were a lot of rides and other things here Kayla hadn't seen at any Disney park, but she couldn't say she had been to many Disneys – she knew what was different from Amelia's and Barry's reactions, though. They would point out and mention things like a restaurant called Walt's Favorites, and an Alice in Wonderland play area for small kids. All the while, Amelia kept taking group pictures with her L-Corp Selfie Camera.
As time passed, they had gone in to see a Three Caballeros show and then went to an area that seemed dedicated to Mickey and Friends. There was a Steam Boat Mickey Riverboat ride here that they managed to catch which included an animation of Mickey up top that moved and whistled as the ride went through the small river.
Barry and Amelia stood up front pointing out things and making sure to get pictures while Kayla sat back and took it in. Mon sat next to her and put an arm around her as Cisco called out to the other two to look to the left.
"Not so bad, right?" Mon asked and Kayla smiled.
"Not at all," Kayla stated, taking in the view.
When the steamboat ride was over, Cisco announced that they could get to their last fast-pass: This was a Mickey Coaster featuring members of all the Fab Five; the characters coming out and calling things on the ride as Goofy messing up what track to send them to, so they went the more dangerous route for riders' enjoyment.
"Good ride," Amelia said once they were off.
"Well, it's our last here," Cisco said, looking at the time. "We need to exit this park and head to Prime." With that, the group ran at a human speed to exit the park and went back to where Cisco originally brought them to – the area was somewhat remote and a good place to open up a private portal.
"To Prime," Cisco said when the portal was open and all five went through.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
"Well, this wasn't what I expected," Kayla remarked as they exited the portal. They were stood on a dock, although there were no boats on this area and looking out, all she saw was water. "Ocean Disney?" She asked looking around at all the water.
"Close," Cisco spoke up, bringing Kayla's attention to him.
"Disney Island," Barry and Amelia chorused, causing Kayla to raise her eyebrows.
"Come again?" Mon asked as they began to move, heading toward a familiar gate to what looked like a generic Magic Kingdom park, albeit with a giant castle within.
"Disney made this huge boat-island, with hotels, shops, a small airport and docks to house two parks – a bit like Disneyland, but its own island," Cisco explained, pointing them out from where they were. "There's the classic Magic Kingdom with only the best rides, and Disney Sea, an American take on Tokyo's DisneySeas."
"And where on Prime are we?" Mon asked as they reached the gate to scan their magic bands, which accepted them thanks to Cisco's own magic.
"I think we're on the Atlantic Ocean right now," Cisco mused. "The island travels across the globe. You can get to it by plane, boat, or Disney Cruise ship. Come on, this way," now inside the park he led them to the left, following signs to Disney Sea, getting to the other, smaller, park easily enough. Kayla wondered how long he had been spying on the parks to get the lay of the land so well.
"So, what ride first?" Mon asked, noticing that there was a giant statue of the earth near the entrance, with plenty of water jets that seemed to be the symbol of the little park – plenty of people were having their photos taken in front of it, after all. "Oh, there's a Pocahontas' Wild Rapids ride."
"Yes Mon, that's actually on the list," Cisco said to a grin from Mon.
"Selfie first!" Amelia called as Kayla chuckled, getting close to Mon as they posed in front of the Earth statue for the small Selfie Camera to take its shots.
"We're doing a Finding Nemo ride and the Little Mermaid," Amelia explained once the selfies were done, causing Kayla to raise her eyebrows and chuckle.
"What?" Mon asked at her reaction.
"My Beautiful alternative is the Little Mermaid – well, for their live action film. Kind of funny and ironic that we're doing that ride," she explained.
"I've got to see that," Mon grinned.
"There's a Lilo and Stitch ride I want to try," Barry spoke up, but added quickly, "but we can do that another day – not in today's plans."
"We also can't do the Moana ride this time either," Amelia said giving a frown at that, but they had a plan and timescale to stick to and she, Cisco, and Barry had planned this out to the last minute, it seemed.
"You can do that without me," Kayla voiced of the mentioned rides; she wasn't a big fan of Lilo and Stitch, despite being an alien like its protagonist. "Although I would have liked to see the Moana ride," Kayla did find the Moana movie cute after all and Mon did want to ride it.
Soon enough though they were standing outside of a building that resembled a giant fish tank, but it was obvious to Kayla that these were large TV screens around the building, making the place look like a fish tank; it was impressive though. They passed by animatronic sea gulls, all calling 'mine!' like in the film, amusing the group.
Once inside, they easily got through the fast-pass line and into carts – again, Cisco, Barry and Amelia managed to fit into one cart, while Kayla and Mon took the second. The ride took off, starting a journey with characters from the first film before dropping low, into the ocean itself as they could see the bottom of Disney Island from their carts. It was interesting as they were given several views of the expanse of ocean, including an oceanic lesson from a forgetful Dory, before they went up and continued the ride, now with characters from the sequel film – this ride really was updated. At the end, they had photos taken in their carts with the animated turtles before they were allowed off, Cisco telling them he had also set up their Disney accounts to get all the photos Disney took.
"Well, that was interesting," Mon mused, his arm now around Kayla's shoulders as they exited the fish tank building, following Cisco, Amelia, and Barry, who were singing among themselves now.
"Yeah, it was cool. The dip into the ocean was different," Kayla agreed.
"Almost romantic," Mon muttered, Kayla pausing at this, but didn't get the chance to ask more as Cisco called to them; they had fallen behind.
"Where next?" Kayla asked, she and Mon catching up to the others.
"Pocahontas!" Barry and Amelia said as one, to a huge smile from Mon, who ran up in excitement. Kayla didn't know why Mon liked that character so much, but she didn't really get a chance to question it as, before she knew it, she was getting soaked on the Wild Rapids ride, which sat all of them comfortably in a circular spinning raft, which threw them down a raging river, passing locations and a few scenes from the film. It was actually quite fun, Kayla had to admit.
Once off the ride and drying themselves off, Cisco checked his watch, obviously wanting to keep to schedule.
"We're doing good on time," Cisco confirmed, leading the way away from Pocahontas' Wild Rapids and through the park. "Okay, so on some worlds' Magic Kingdom, they added a Little Mermaid ride to that park, but on Prime's they didn't because they put it here instead," Cisco explained as they stopped in front of Eric's Castle from the mermaid cartoon movie – on most worlds it was probably around seven to eight feet tall at its highest, and made to look bigger, but here it really was big – not as big as it could be in real life, but impressive.
"The ride is longer than other worlds," Amelia now explained, "apparently, they go through the entire film, while the other worlds' ones just skip some of Ariel's human storyline."
Amelia was right as they took the ride; it started like the one from many Magic Kingdoms with an animatronic Sebastian the Crab and Ariels, but then it went more in depth, showing Ariel signing the contract, losing her voice, and ending up mute with Eric. They covered Ursula taking a human form and trying to win over Eric before her ultimate defeat and Happily Ever After.
Despite the many songs on the ride, Amelia, Cisco, and Barry were singing 'Under the Sea' by the time they got off and laughing amongst themselves as Amelia took some more photos of the park and the group. Near the ride, Amelia pointed out the local restaurant called Under the Sea. There was a menu out front, and they took a peek to see it was a seafood restaurant.
"Were we just doing those three rides?" Kayla asked when she grabbed the others' attention.
"Sadly, yeah," Barry said. "We've got reservations shortly at Disney Wild West," he looked to the watch on his arm to double check the time.
"Disney Wild West…?" Mon asked, confused by this.
"Bounty Earth's Disney," Cisco called out, leading the way back to the entrance. "I told you, they're set up ready for us. VIP package or something."
"That'll be different," Mon remarked, turning to see Kayla had stopped and laughed to see her purchasing a shirt from a nearby stall. She sped to catch up with them with the shirt in a specialized Disney Sea bag.
"Sorry," Kayla said as she caught up with the man as she put some money away. "I still have some Prime cash from when I stayed here for several months… and Hero Earth cash too."
"Well, the others didn't even notice," Mon pointed out, seeing Cisco, Amelia, and Barry far ahead.
"Did they even really need me for this?" Kayla frowned.
"Probably not. But I need you here," Mon smiled at her, and Kayla found herself blush at this, but didn't say another word as they ran at slightly faster than average speeds to catch up with her friends, just as they were exiting the park.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
When they exited the portal on Bounty, they were surprised to find a Rachel Garrick and a Ray Palmer waiting for them with a stroller. There were two little babies in it.
"Hey," Bounty Rachel said, giving a wave to the group. "I'm Bounty's Rae. This is Ray..."
"Palmer," the entire group finished together.
"He's my nanny," Rae said, giving a smile as Ray looked confused.
"Nanny?" Cisco couldn't help but laugh. He shut up as Amelia stood on his foot.
"And these are my kids Alister and Bella," Rae continued, frowning at Cisco. "Ray and Sara helped us get the VIP tour ready."
"How?" Kayla asked.
"Sara works here," Ray said.
"We've got to see this," Barry and Amelia said together.
"Come on," Ray said, moving and taking the stroller. Ray went up to an employee and showed them something which allowed the entire group to be brought inside and met by a woman wearing a uniform and a cowboy hat with Mickey ears on it.
"Howdy partners," the woman said. "I am Ashley, and I shall be your tour guide on this wild west magical journey. I am told several of you are from the multiverse?" It was strange to Kayla to hear someone random just mention the multiverse, but she had to remember on this Earth the multiverse was common knowledge, having many bad guys jump the worlds for escape from the justice system.
"Well, that would be us," Cisco said, pointing at himself, Amelia, Kayla, Mon, and Barry.
"Yes, and we're very happy to welcome those from another Earth," Ashley said.
"Earths technically," Amelia said. "Using the names we name our Earths, I'm from Karry Universe, he's from SuperEarth, that one is from Mutant, and these two don't have an Earth anymore."
"Mine was destroyed," Mon said.
"And mine is overrun by villains," Kayla explained. "I now hitchhike through the multiverse and just got brought into this Disney for the fun of it."
"This is the third Disney Park we've been to today," Barry said happily.
"Wow, that's impressive. Well, let's make this one the best," Ashely laughed, starting to move into the park. Only now did the group realize there was a giant dome over their heads, reminding all of New Justice's Kryptonian Sanctuary, albeit without the red lights.
"We're under a dome?" Mon asked.
"Indeed, we are," Ashley explained. "We need to keep the western feel all year round, so a dome is the best way to regulate that. During the summer month the dome can be opened, but it's getting a little chilly now to do that so it's closed, as you can see."
"Clever," Mon nodded his approval at this.
"You know, I am shocked we haven't met before," Rae turned to Kayla as the group started moving off, Ray pushing the stroller with him.
"Me too," Kayla said as the two followed behind. "I mean I've been to so many worlds, I don't think I've been to this one yet."
"Well, you're here now," Rae smiled at Kayla.
"Whoa! That is the biggest Big Thunder Mountain I have ever seen!" Amelia called as they got into view of the ride that took centre stage in this solo park. It was definitely bigger than the Big Thunder Mountains located at different Magic Kingdoms throughout the multiverse.
"It's the symbol of our park," Ashley explained. "We will be bringing you on that ride along with Pocahontas Splash Mountain which is behind Big Thunder Mountain."
"Yes Pocahontas!" Mon said with a smile as Kayla gave a laugh; Mon making sure to take her hand which Kayla more than welcomed. She was intrigued to see a Pocahontas theme of Splash Mountain.
"There is one thing we must see," Barry spoke aloud. "Sara Lance."
"I'm sorry?" Ashley asked.
"My fiancée," Ray said, making those of the multiverse share a look. "She works here."
"Oh yes," Ashley said. "She's plays our Annie Oakley in the stage show in front of Big Thunder Mountain. It will be starting soon and then the cast does photos so we can add that to our list."
"Yes!" Everyone said at once.
"Not a problem," Ashley said herself as they walked through the wild west inspired street up to Big Thunder Mountain. In front of the ride was a stage for the show but Ashley brought them to a special area where they had an amazing view of the show instead.
Sara was the first out when the show started and the group from the multiverse were both stunned and laughing as she sang and danced around the stage taking out the bad guys in the show. The songs were catchy, too, and somehow the group were able to easily sing along to some of the songs.
When the show was over though, they were taken to where the cast was lining up for photos with the public.
"Only Annie Oakley," Amelia called for the line as they came up and Sara raised an eyebrow and looked at Ray, who shrugged. The group from the multiverse gathered around Sara and Amelia used her selfie camera – which surprised those of this Earth.
"This was the best!" Amelia gave Sara a hug which also surprised the woman. This Sara didn't know many heroes, working at Disney Wild West and not a superhero. She also didn't have extensive knowledge of the multiverse so didn't know exactly who all these people were.
"I'll explain later," Ray said to his fiancée as he, the kids, and Ray also took a picture with the whole cast. Ray separated from them at that moment to take the kids for more child-friendly attractions and get pictures with characters.
Afterward, the group were brought up to the monster Big Thunder Mountain and were allowed to skip the line. This Big Thunder Mountain was definitely bigger than the ones they were used to – and longer. The speed of the train was faster, the curves more accentuated and the thrills more intense. The group were smiling as they came off it.
"Can we do that again?" Barry asked.
"It would eat into our time," Ashley said; she hadn't ridden with them, waiting for them to finish instead. "We'd have to cut off one of the three rides we had planned before dinner – especially since we stopped for the show."
"Sorry, Barry, we'll do it again some other time," Amelia said, and Barry gave a nod, not wanting to miss any ride.
Mon was very excited for the Pocahontas ride. His enthusiasm was infectious as Kayla sat at the front with him while Amelia and Barry took the middle. Rae and Cisco took the last seat in the boat like flume. The ride was similar to Splash Mountain, only with a Pocahontas theme to it meant there were noticeable differences such as the flumes being boats, not logs. The flumes brought them through the beginning of the ride and played 'Just Around the Riverbend' until they reached and went over the falls. At the end of the ride, John Smith finally appeared, and they played 'Colors of the Wind' until they unloaded.
"I think that was bigger than Splash Mountain," Cisco said.
"This drop is a few inches bigger than Splash Mountain currently located in the Magic Kingdom in Florida," Ashley commented as they exited the ride and looked at their photo.
"Where is this located?" Kayla asked, surprised they weren't in Florida too.
"Starling," Ashley said, surprising the group. "So, when the temperature gets too cold, we put over the dome. It does mean we can only do fireworks during the summer months, but we have laser and drone shows to make up for that. But we have Toy Story Round Up to do and then some time for shopping before dinner at Andy's Barbeque Grill. It is a character meal with Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye."
"We don't really have money to shop…" Amelia pointed out, Kayla deciding not to say anything, given she had purchased a shirt from Prime's Disney Sea – although she didn't have any Bounty money on her anyway.
"Oh, don't worry about that," Rae said. "You all have a pre-set limit on how much you can spend."
"I'll be handing you your cards when we get to the shopping area," Ashley said.
"Why are you doing this all for us?" Barry asked, honestly curious. Cisco had done a lot for them on Mutant, but he had been involved in that planning. Prime had just gotten them the tickets and hadn't shown up, knowing they'd be able to navigate the parks easily – and possibly not wanting to be involved on a Disney freak out with Amelia and SuperEarth's Barry.
"You've helped us make a lot of money since we met," Rae explained truthfully. "This is barely a scratch in what we got from your worlds helping us get our bounties, well, tracks as we call them," Barry paused not having thought of that, but shrugged as they headed for Toy Story Round Up.
It was once again a 3D experience that started as just a show, but halfway through the show the screen seemed to blow up and safety bars came around them. They were brought through the screen and brought on a ride through Toy Story. It was a little like Star Tours with an interactive adventure.
Afterward they were brought to a shopping center and given cards with a $300 limit, which was where Ashley left them. Amelia started grabbing pins and getting shirts while Barry tried on leather cowboys' hats with Mickey ears on it before choosing a black one and getting a denim shirt himself.
"What do you think?" Mon asked as he also tried on a cowboy hat with Mickey ears and turned to Kayla who smiled.
"It's you," Kayla chuckled. The group from the multiverse all managed to use the money they were given on different toys, clothes, pins, and accessories. Cisco easily sent their things to their respective worlds before they were brought to the restaurant.
Ray met up with them with the kids for dinner. The food was good; all of them with barbeque options and they shared appetizers as well. The group getting pictures with Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye too.
"No dessert! We're doing dessert on the next world," Cisco called as Kayla and Mon stopped looking at the dessert menu. "Hero Earth – and we need to head there now," with that, he led the way out of the restaurant.
"Thanks for everything," Amelia said, now giving Rae a hug and Barry followed. Kayla herself hugged Rae.
"Maybe someday we'll meet outside of Disney," Kayla commented, and Rae gave a smirk and a nod as Cisco opened a portal for them.
"We can have dessert, right?" Ray asked once they were gone.
"Hell yeah," Rae said with a nod.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
Kayla had expected to arrive outside whatever Disney park Cisco had in store for them, but was surprised to find their group in what looked like one of the many heroes headquarters this world had in store – and even more surprised to find another Mon waiting for them, albeit bearded unlike her Mon.
"Hey everyone," Hero Earth's Mon spoke up, waving at the group. "You already for some Christmas fun?"
"Early Christmas?" Their Mon frowned at this; it was early November on Karry, at least.
"It's Christmas all year round there!" Cisco explained to the others.
"A Christmas park?!" Kayla asked, excited now. Back on Krypton they'd never had Christmas; there was a sort of winter solstice celebration she'd liked, but ever since she'd arrived on Earth, and then Paranormal Earth, she'd experienced Christmas itself and loved it – going out of the way to experience it on multiple Earths since.
"Walt Disney World's Christmas Wonderland, yep," Hero's Mon stated. "Their fifth park."
"Hey, why did we arrive here?" Cisco, however, asked, indicating the obvious superhero headquarters.
"Oh, yeah, well the multiverse has become more of a thing here, obviously, but we're trialling out multiverse travel to other places on this world, but until then you always get redirected to here," Hero's Mon explained. "But forget about that, I've got Extra Magic Hours sorted for us, three rides, Be Our Guest's Dessert Bar and fireworks to see."
"Wow, that's a lot," Amelia stated.
"Easy enough though," Barry countered; Amelia poked her tongue out at this.
"Come on," Mon stated, turning to the computer to open another portal, which they went through.
They arrived inside the park, beyond the entrance, which confused the multiverse group, but Hero Mon explained that they'd already been registered into the park due to the magic bands – although they did have to go through a security barrier, just in case.
Once passed security, the first thing they noticed was the symbol of the park: Beast's Castle from Beauty and the Beast, covered in fake snow and surrounded by huge Christmas trees. Of course, Amelia jumped at the opportunity to take more selfies in front of the castle and Christmas trees, Beauty and the Beast being her favorite movie after all.
The whole park was dedicated to the Christmas theme, with permanent displays of lights, tinsel, giant baubles, and every Cast Member wore Christmas outfits, with Santa hats, reindeer antlers and Mickey-bauble ears. Kayla jumped at the chance to buy some of the Micky-bauble ears with her own money. She'd built up a bit of a collection of other worlds' money.
Their first ride in the park was called Santa's Soarin' Sleigh Ride, which was a Christmas take on the normal Soarin' ride Disney parks had. The exterior was a giant sleigh and once inside and lifted on the seats in front of the giant curved screen, they were flying across the globe in Santa's sleigh, Rudolf taking the lead as they saw many cultures and variations on the winter celebrations around them.
With the ride over, Hero's Mon took the lead, leading them toward what was definitely a Nightmare Before Christmas ride; the outside theme being the twisted rock in which Jack Skellington stood on in film. The ride itself was a 3D ride with the glasses that followed Jack Skellington through the tree door and into Christmas Town, exploring the themes of Christmas like the film with an extended version of the infamous "What's This?" song, with a few verses of "This Is Halloween" thrown in for good measure.
Leaving the ride, the entire group singing "What's This?", Mon put his arm around Kayla's shoulders again while Hero's Mon lead the group back to the centre of the park and Beast's Castle.
"You guys are really lucky," Hero's Mon explained as they reached the castle. "It's hard to get reservations at Be Our Guests, but they recently opened the Be Our Guest Dessert Bar just off from the main restaurant, so as you've had your food, you can grab something to eat there – although you need to take it away as we have fireworks in fifteen minutes. No need to worry about money," he glanced at Kayla and Mon at this, knowing that Kayla had already bought from two parks, "your Magic Bands are linked to the Hero League's account so it's all pre-paid for."
"Hero League?" Barry asked at this.
"The uniform name for all the various groups of heroes we have here," Hero Mon explained simply as they now walked into the large corridor through the interior of the castle, following the signs to Be Our Guest. "We got permission to allow you to use a certain amount. Our government wants good relationships with the multiverse."
"So, a sort of trial run for your Disney and the multiverse?" Cisco pointed out, to a nod from Hero Mon.
Most of the group got Mrs Potts' Ice Cream – Kayla getting chocolate – although Cisco got a Belle Sundae while Amelia and Barry also got a Beast cupcake decorated with the Grey Stuff as they took in the grand extension to the restaurant, able to see into the eating area and the sheer grandness of the place, resembling the ballroom from the film with stained glass windows depicting scenes from the film.
They didn't stick around for too long though as they took their desserts to have a good look at the late firework show that took place above the castle; the display was colors of reds, whites, and golds, with the music being from various Christmas soundtracks the group knew – and some they didn't. The park was crowded as they saw phone cameras take in the display and kids and adults alike cheering at various points.
"That's not the last of it," Hero Mon stated as the fireworks finished, with many audience members clapping their approval of the display as Hero Mon lead them back to the castle, the group throwing their food remnants in the trash.
"Beast's Enchanted Christmas Ride?" Their Mon read aloud as they reached the ride just beyond where they had been for their dessert.
"Best ride in the park," Hero Mon stated as they moved down, through the fast-pass line to enter what appeared to be Beast's castle's foyer, with the doors to the main ballroom being where the ride started – this ride was also carts, although trackless as Hero's Mon got in with Cisco, Barry got in with Amelia and Kayla and her Mon got into the last cart. The experience really was magical as they started off in a large, cavernous room made to look like the exterior of the castle, following Beauty and Beast in animatronic form as they ice skated around the carts, and then the carts followed Beast into a snow-covered forest to find the perfect Christmas tree.
The ride followed the plot of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas as the misguided pipe organ, Forte, tried to ruin Christmas, as after the forest, the riders were taken through a large tree and into a decorated hall of the castle, which a digital Beast destroyed in a rage. The riders were then thrown down into the dungeons with Belle and the magic rose. Then, Forte the organ tried to destroy the castle, the riders shaking with the digital representation of the castle under siege. The ride ended with the castle restored and Belle and Beast once again ice skating happily.
"You know it's rare for Disney to not only accept their own sequels, but to make it into a ride," Amelia stated as they left the castle now.
"Honestly, Enchanted Christmas is a great plot – I'm glad they made it work into a ride," Barry pointed out.
"Is that everything?" Kayla now asked; it was getting late and although she had enjoyed her day, she was tired and wanted to know if she was needed back on Karry Universe. She was also curious as to what Zari had done with herself in their time away.
"Sadly yeah. The park closes in an hour. I mean you're welcome to stay until the very end," Hero Mon stated.
"Ooh, we will!" Amelia and Barry both raised their hands at this.
"I'm going to buy some things from a gift shop," Amelia called out to Mon.
"I'm going to see if they sell the Gray Stuff," Barry added, running after his multiverse sister.
"That… that wasn't a question," Hero Mon paused at this, but the multiverse brother and sister had already moved off to the nearby gift shop.
"I'll hang but you two can head back to Karry if you want," Cisco stated to Kayla and her Mon. "I'm glad you guys joined us."
"I love Disney," Mon stated as a simple reply.
"It was fun," Kayla added.
"When you're done, vibe back to the HQ you arrived at," Hero Mon stated, "you can take the portal back to your worlds from there. You two," he indicated to Kayla and her Mon, "follow me, I'll take you home."
"Thanks," Kayla smiled as her Mon nodded to his alternate and they headed back to where they had entered.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
Arriving back on Karry Universe it was to discover that Zari had fallen asleep by the lake, and they had to wake her up; she moved back into the Lake House, as the weather wasn't the best – especially as it was November. A quick check in with Karry's own Barry informed Kayla that she hadn't been missed in any fights and the day had been quite quiet on the hero front, which was good.
Mon, however, was tired after a long day at Disney parks so headed off to bed, giving Kayla a knowing look as he headed upstairs. Zari, meanwhile, wanted to examine the Gideon at the place, so Kayla left her to it while Kayla put on the TV and put her Disney bags on the table. Her mind was still on Beauty and the Beast, though, so decided to put on the live action version released a few years ago.
Of course, she wasn't going to forget her journal…
Well, this was a day I didn't think I'd ever experience; Kayla began writing as the opening titles of Beauty and the Beast came on. Disney! Not just any Disney, but four Disney parks in one day – and that wasn't even the start of my day.
After an attack on Pearl Harbor yesterday, and some confusion with Prime Earth, Karry Universe has gained two more possible permanent residents: Zari Tomaz and Mon-El. Kayla smiled to herself as she thought of Mon, but that wasn't who she'd mention first. Zari is interesting, I've met a few Zaris in my times in my travels but simply put, she's from the future of another world and true bearer of the Air Totem – this one wears the Totem around her wrist – and it's not even Karry Universe's own Totem, which Lena has. I wonder how that works? Two of the same Totems on one world. She's cool though, and I'm sure we'll get on well. Although it's kind of weird having gone from being solo here at the Lake House and now having two house mates. Not my decision though.
But yeah, Mon-El… she wondered what she'd say about him. He's dreamy. She couldn't help herself, she sounded like a 1950s schoolgirl. I knew of him from other Earths, of course, but this one is different; he's friendly and just so accepting. He didn't even ask to hold my hand or anything but just did it, and quite frankly I didn't mind in the slightest. It's probably a good thing my world never had a problem with Daxam though to cloud my judgement on the race. They were good neighbors to Krypton – it's just a shame Earth itself wasn't all that good.
Enough on her roommates though, as she had to talk about the rest of her day. But Disney, yes. Four Disney parks: Mutant, Prime, Bounty and Hero Earth. Mutant was great as they had a Classic Disney Park with some of the original rides other Disneys removed over the years. Then there was Prime which is a freaking Island boat! They took on the Disney Sea theme for a side park and I got a glimpse at the more traditional Magic Kingdom they had too. We did a couple of rides there, too, but Mon wants to go back, so I can see that on the cards.
She grinned, thinking about doing a trip with just her and Mon. Bounty's Disney though was a whole other thing as it was a Wild West theme with Sara Lance as an actor and Cast Member there. That was an experience – I can't wait to see the pictures! Also, Big Thunder Mountain was like the key location there and a giant ride, too, and don't get me started on the dome over the park which is used to keep the park at a heated temperature like a Wild West itself.
Finally, we did a Christmas park. I freaking love Christmas and I never even knew Hero Earth had a Christmas Disney – and their Animal Sanctuary even has an annual Christmas event each year too, so the competition there is huge. She remembered her times in Hero's Sanctuary for Christmas, with Kal and Jal being Santa Claus. She wanted to mention more on Disney Christmas though. It seems the Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie was the main theme of the park there and let me tell you it worked, especially the ride based around the film. I need to do that again. Maybe Mon will come with me? He is a bit of a Disney nerd after all…
Kayla stopped writing at this, her mind back on Mon-El. Why was she suddenly so obsessed with this man? Looking up at the screen, Belle had already got herself locked in the castle and Lumiere and Cogsworth were showing her to her room in the West Wing. Maybe Belle was Kayla? Suddenly thrown together with an attractive man and seeing an opportunity…
She shook herself and closed her journal. She wanted to focus on the movie now and then maybe check in on her new housemates. Hopefully Zari hadn't messed up Gideon too badly. Karry Barry might have a few sterns things to say if she had.
-Hitchhiker's Guide-
Amelia was sitting in the bottom floor of the Penthouse and on her computer, having a video call with SuperEarth Barry on screen. The two of them had a document out on separate laptops and they were editing something together – the document had the names of the worlds and listed their different Disneys.
"I really enjoyed this," SuperEarth Barry was saying, still grinning.
"It was whirlwind Disney-hopping day. I don't think anyone else can say they did four different Disney parks on four different Earths in one day," Amelia pointed out as she edited the document with explanation of rides they did and rides they missed but wanted to do in the future.
"It's a very different type of Disney challenge," SuperEarth Barry said with a smirk.
"Do you have all the photos and videos on your end?" Amelia asked.
"Yep, saving them now," Barry said. "Thankfully Alex agreed I can connect my computer to the multiverse system for Disney stuff."
"How did you get her to allow that?" Amelia asked, knowing on SuperEarth Alex was stricter on the multiverse than other worlds were. It didn't help SuperEarth had messed up with Mutant Earth years ago, likely making that Alex a bit paranoid on what contact they had.
"She heard the word Disney and just said to do what I want," Barry said and Amelia chuckled, "she even added in a very convincing groan."
"Of course," Amelia laughed at this, knowing people around her too allowed her to just get on with it when it came to Disney rather than discuss it. "But hey, I better go. Winn is pouting," Amelia could see Winn sitting on the couch giving a sad look as Barry chuckled. "Was Kara upset at being left out?"
"No," Barry said instantly. "She doesn't really get Disney. Honestly, I need you to come here one day to go Disneyland London in the UK with me."
"It's a plan – and I'll bring Winn," Amelia said, glancing to Winn who looked up at this.
"Always welcome. Bye!" Barry said, and the two hung up.
"It's not my fault you couldn't come because Ava refused to let you go because of that Atlantis thing," Amelia pointed out, and Winn gave a sad little nod. "But I do have some good news."
"Oh?" Winn asked as his wife came closer to him.
"Lena was very impressed by the pictures the camera took," Amelia explained. "She wants it on the market soon before Kara and Barry get theirs out and wants pictures that she can use in places people would know for the advertisement. I convinced her doing our Disney would be good and someone who people know as an L-Corp employee doing it around the parks. How does a few days at the Grand Floridian courtesy of L-Corp sound to you? I already convinced Ava to let you have the days off."
"Wow. Yeah, that sounds perfect," Winn said, kissing Amelia and the kiss deepened. They were about to take it further when Amelia's phone binged. "Honestly, why is your phone continuously ringing? It's been doing that for nearly half an hour," Winn now complained.
"Oh, Sara wants me to take down a multiverse video from our Facebook group," Amelia said – they had made a private Facebook group for the members of their Super Family to share private things among each other, and Amelia had recently updated it with Bounty Earth's Sara in Disney Wild West. "I am refusing. Ignore it." Amelia tossed her phone aside as she continued to kiss Winn.
Post Chapter Note: Well, we hope you enjoyed this very Disney chapter! We enjoyed making different types of Disney for this – and be warned, it may not be the only Disney Hitchhikers chapter we write for this story.
